Due to all the pitfalls in this task it is helpful to turn on debugging by default. It is also helpful, to show each DOS 3.3 Command, by entering MON C before running the program. There is an extra PRINT statement in line 540 to work-around an issue with the display of DOS 3.3 commands after an error occurs. Setting ERASEANYBACKUP will delete the backup file if it already exists. Delete lines 180 to 230 with DEL 180,230 and it is possible with DOS 3.3 to have backup files all with the same name due to a pitfall in the RENAME Command.

===Rename===

This is the technique of the task description.

import (

fmt.Println(err)

}

===Copy===

Alternative technique copies an existing file to make the backup copy, then updates the origial file. In an attempt to keep operations atomic, the original file is opened as the first operation and is not closed until all operations are complete. In an attempt to avoid data loss, the original file is not modified until the backup file is closed.

import (

// backup complete (as long as err == nil)

Before basing anything on the above code, though, I would recommend you take a look at <br>

PicoLisp makes use of external commands as much as possible (at least for not time-critical operations), to avoid duplicated functionality.

Using [https://docs.python.org/library/os.html os library]

import os

targetfile = "pycon-china"

f.write("this task was solved during a talk about rosettacode at the PyCon China in 2011")

f.close()

Or using a newer [https://docs.python.org/library/pathlib.html pathlib library] (Python >= 3.4):

from pathlib import Path

with filepath.open('w') as file:

file.write("New content")

=={{header|Racket}}==

This version keeps unlimited backups, with <tt>*.bak</tt> being the freshest one, <tt>*.bak1</tt> is an older backup, etc. So each backup moves all existing names up.
